A New York Times Notable Book: “A ravishingly seductive novel . . . set in contemporary Kathmandu” ( Elle ). Ramchandra is a math teacher earning a low wage and living in a small apartment with his wife and two children. Moonlighting as a tutor, he engages in an illicit affair with one of his tutees, Malati, a beautiful, impoverished teenager, who is also a new mother. She provides for him what his wife, who comes from a privileged background, does not: desire, mystery, and a simpler life. Just as this Nepalese city struggles with the conflicts of change, Ramchandra must also learn to accommodate both tradition and his very modern desires, in this “gripping” novel by the Whiting Award–winning author of Buddha’s Orphans ( The New York Times Book Review ). “Utterly absorbing . . . Upadhyay’s lucent and tender storytelling gently unveils the strange interplay between self and family, the private and the political, and most mysteriously, the erotic and the spiritual.” — Booklist “Poignant . . . The Guru of Love effectively weaves together the complicated dichotomies of man and mistress, love and lust, tradition and modernity.” — USA Today “Reads like a graceful, page-turning mixture of stirring romance and social commentary.” — Entertainment Weekly A Novel Mariner Books Literature General DE,US,ES,IT,FR,MX English Literature, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt<

Writing of Samrat Upadhyays debut story collection, critics raved: like a Buddhist Chekhov . . . speak[s] to common truths . . . startlingly good (San Francisco Chronicle) and subtle and spiritually complex (New York Times). Upadhyays first novel showcases his finest writing and his signature themes. The Guru of Love is a moving and important story important for what it illuminates about the human need to love as well as lust, and for the light it shines on the political situation in Nepal and elsewhere.Ramchandra is a math teacher earning a low wage and living in a small apartment with his wife and two children. Moonlighting as a tutor, he engages in an illicit affair with one of his tutees, Malati, a beautiful, impoverished young woman who is also a new mother. She provides for him what his wife, who comes from a privileged background, does not: desire, mystery, and a simpler life. Complicating matters are various political concerns and a small city bursting with the conflicts of modernization, a static government, and a changing population. Just as the city must contain its growing needs, so must Ramchandra learn to accommodate both tradition and his very modern desires.Absolutely absorbing yet deceptively simple, this novel cements Upadhyays emerging status as one of our most exciting new writers.; PDF; Fiction > Modern & contemporary fiction, Bloomsbury Publishing<
